A thread for Phil Hartman

Also the line about "Is there anything you won't drink?" "Yeah...POISON. I'm saving it for YOU."

Bill Clinton: [ chews his McMuffin ] Mmm.. that's a good question. Yes, I do, and let me tell you why. See, right now, we're sending in.. [ holds us McMuffin ] ...food... [ puts McMuffin in front of Male Customer ] ...to Somalia... but it's not getting to the people who need it because... [ brings McMuffin back to himself ] ...it's being intercepted by the warlords. [ chews McMuffin some more ] And it's not just us. It's other countries, too... [ grabs a McNugget from another customer ] Your McNugget is aid from Great Britain... [takes it to other customer, then gobbles it down ] ...intercepted by warlords! [ grabs someone's Filet-o-Fish ] This man's Filet-o-Fish sandwich over here is relief from Italy.. [ pops it in his mouth ] ...warlords! And you can send all the food you want... [ grabs different items ] ...a McDLT, hot apple pie...it's just gonna end up with... [ puts it all in his mouth ] ...the warlords! Now, with a broad-based international military force, we can make sure that the McRib sandwich... [ grabs one and places it on someone's tray ] ...gets to the people who need it. [ picks it up and gobbles it anyway ] Can I get a Coke?

Just seemed like a lot of the skits he's in happen to involve him berating or talking down to women. Maybe one of the writers just kept writing him those parts though, or maybe it's just what they selected.

Anyway, it's not in a "what a misogynistic prick" kind of way so much as a repressed anger kind of way, which, as said above, might be understandable.

Lisa: Ok...

Bill: Well how could she do that to me, Lisa? How could she... french her daddy?

pffft. I fail to see how lines from NewsRadio (an innocuous and forgettable sitcom) are somehow inherently more worthwhile than his work on the Simpsons (the greatest television show of the last 20 years).

NewsRadio is obviously more indie than the Simpsons. Less played out. Less tainted by this conception of the ultra-geeky fan. Less funny though, too. Quoting it shows that you are a connosseur of fine, less well-known vintage comedy, and better than Simpsons geeks.

Very nice. Now is this where I point out the 'crezappy' bit was already quoted near the top of the thread?

I don't think that anyone did this.

I mean, I agree it's wonderful to quote again and again and all. ;-)

Dave quit coffee, Bill quit smoking. To wit:

Dave: Hey I have an idea. I'll give up coffee, if you give up cigarettes. Huh? We'll go through this together.
Bill: But you should have to give up something of equal difficulty. Like going to the bathroom.

Anyway, kenan, the best line of that isn't in your quote. The best line of it is the part where Dave admits to drinking 2-3 POTS of coffee per day and Bill is like, "That's just...SICK."

Also the episode where he gives himself a heart attack wearing the Patch "like a belt" around his waist and they revive him with Foghat.

Say more.

One of his wives remarked that he "wasn't all there" emotionally, but what comedian/actor/entertainment guy isn't.

I liked his "Max Jerome - Private Eye!" character from the 1-800-COLLECT commercials

I think you're conflating Bill eating the patch and Jimmy James in the coma.
